The night was thick, like ink splashed over the sky above the next village, and the silence was heart-pounding.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing crouched down and sneaked into the village under the cover of night.

They stood under a thick old locust tree at the entrance of the village. The mottled shadows of the tree fell on them, like a huge net, enveloping them.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, like a taut string that could break at any time.

The surrounding trees were silent, even the birds that usually chirped were silent. Only the rustling of leaves in the wind was like the whisper of a ghost, which was creepy.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing exchanged glances, both understanding that traps were all around them and danger lurked in every corner.

They took every step carefully, scanning everything around them with sharp eyes, not daring to relax for the slightest.

With a light "click" sound, Shen Qiqi's feet were empty and she fell down.

In a flash, Lu Qing quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back from the edge of the trap.

"Huh..." Shen Qiqi gasped in shock. She lowered her head and saw a bottomless pit suddenly appeared before her eyes. The bottom of the pit was filled with sharp bamboo sticks, which made her shudder.

"That was a close call! This Liu Ergou is so insidious and cunning!"

Before she could recover from her shock, a huge animal trap suddenly fell from a nearby tree and headed towards them.

Lu Qing hugged Shen Qiqi and rolled on the ground several times, barely avoiding the attack of the animal trap.

The successive traps made Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing's nerves tense to the extreme.

Just as they were avoiding a rolling stone trap, Shen Qiqi accidentally sprained her foot.

"Hiss..." She took a breath and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

"Qiqi, how are you?" Lu Qing helped her up with heartache, looking at her painful expression, his heart filled with self-blame.

The oppressive atmosphere, coupled with the sharp pain coming from her ankle, made Shen Qiqi feel that it was difficult to breathe.

She gritted her teeth, endured the pain and said, "I'm fine, we have to leave here quickly..."

Suddenly, Lu Qing raised his head, staring at the front with a sharp gaze, and whispered, "Qiqi, be careful..."

As soon as Lu Qing finished speaking, a dozen strong men holding sticks suddenly jumped out from the surrounding woods and surrounded them with ferocious looks.

These people all had fierce looks on their faces, like evil spirits crawling out of hell.

"Hey, isn't this the third boy of the Lu family? What brings you to our village to be a wild couple?" The bald man in the lead grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and let out a shrill laugh.

Lu Qing frowned, protecting Shen Qiqi behind him, his eyes sweeping around like a knife.

He knew that these people were coming for them and that tonight was destined to be a tough battle.

He moved his wrist, making a "click" sound, and a hand-to-hand fight was about to break out.

"Brothers, come on! Show them some color!" The bald man gave an order, and the thugs pounced on him like hungry wolves, waving sticks and hitting Lu Qing.

Lu Qing was agile, dodging left and right, avoiding the sticks. At the same time, he seized the opportunity and knocked a thug to the ground with one punch.

However, the other side had more people and more power, and Lu Qing soon fell into a tough fight, and his clothes began to be torn.

Shen Qiqi watched Lu Qing struggling to resist but gradually becoming exhausted, her heart burning with anxiety.

She knew that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death, and she had to find a way to help Lu Qing out of trouble.

She looked around quickly, trying to find a way out.

Suddenly, she noticed that although these thugs were fierce, they were scattered and had no unified command. Moreover, their eyes seemed to be full of distrust.

An idea suddenly struck her, and a bold plan came to her mind.

"Hey, you guys, are you willing to be Liu Ergou's running dogs?" Shen Qiqi suddenly raised her voice, her tone full of sarcasm, "You work so hard, but Liu Ergou is just counting money at home. Your hard-earned money has all been used to support his concubines, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the thugs were stunned and hesitated in their actions.

Some people began to whisper.

"I'm fighting my life off, is that just to be a stepping stone for that old guy Liu Ergou?" A thug with a beard said in a muffled voice.

"That's right. I heard that Liu Ergou recently married a young wife and lives in a new house, but we can't even have a bowl of hot soup!" another thug also complained.

"Damn it, Liu Ergou is a piece of shit. I'm going to settle the score with him!" another thug roared.

The thugs became suspicious of each other and their formation began to become chaotic.

When Lu Qing saw this scene, he was secretly happy, knowing that Shen Qiqi's plan worked.

He seized the opportunity and punched a thug in the chin, knocking him out, then shouted loudly: "Qiqi, go!"

Shen Qiqi took the opportunity to help Lu Qing up. Just as they were about to retreat, Lu Qing suddenly stopped and looked towards the woods in the distance. His eyes became deep and sharp. He slowly spoke, his voice so low that it seemed to come from the depths of hell: "No, there are still people..."

Lu Qing's eyes flashed, and he kicked the bald man who was speaking right in the face.

There was a crisp "crack" sound, and it was estimated that the big man's nose bridge could not be saved.

Now, the already chaotic group of thugs has completely exploded, becoming suspicious of each other and even fighting with each other.
